We help veterans and their families to live the life they deserve after service

Story

In June 2022 I started a fund and awareness raising challenge for Help for Heroes, who help wounded veterans and their families to recover and get on with their lives. 

The challenge focuses around writing "H 4 H" on a map of Scotland / England / Wales and then cycling the route. This will be with the aim of generating very much needed funds for the charity, awareness raising to young people and promoting the support available to potential beneficiaries. 

The first "H" was completed in June 2022 across Central Scotland, with the "4" covering the Midlands and Northern England completed in September 2022 before the second "H" in Summer 2023. 

In numbers I am aiming to:

- Raise £10k that will go directly to the charity. I will cover my own costs / look for support from others along the way (e.g. with  accommodation).

- Speak to 20 different groups

- Generate 10 articles or interviews in mainstream media
